About Adrian
Adrian Kim is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. She approaches each person with respect and calm. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and clear.
She keeps sessions direct and conversational. Clients are invited to name what matters most and try practical steps between sessions. Adrian focuses on simple strategies that build skills for coping and communication.
Background and approach
Her work often blends client-centered listening with skill-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means she listens first, then helps people notice patterns and practice different ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. Adrian also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support change.
Mindfulness helps people slow down and notice what is happening in the moment. Motivational interviewing helps clarify goals and strengthen the reasons someone wants change. She has been practicing for 10 years as an LMHC in Indiana.
Her experience includes helping people manage life transitions, parenting stress, caregiver fatigue, body image concerns, and family-of-origin issues. Sessions are offered in English and available through online formats to fit different schedules.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship. In practice this means sessions focus on what the person wants to address and the therapist reflects back concerns to help them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and phobias by breaking problems into manageable steps.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what works and what does not, so clients stay involved in shaping their care.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief, written exchanges when that format fits better. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other obligations.
